The Army’s Project Manager Positioning, Navigation, and Timing’s (PM PNT) Dismounted team announced the accomplishment of a major milestone this month – completion of the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) of the TRX DAPS GEN II solution.
This is exciting news, coming just a few weeks after TRX’s recent news release announcing that our DAPS GEN II solution is in production and shipping, just five months after a $402 Million Program of Record award from the U.S. Army.
IOT&E is an important step toward TRX DAPS GEN II reaching Full Rate Production and Initial Operational Capability, as described in the post by the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (PEO IEW&S).

Looks like it’s bigger than the DAGR it replaces, which pissed me off until I saw it can connect wirelessly with a “wrist worn device”. That’s pretty cool- keep this in the assault pack and have assured secure pnt data on the wrist just like a Garmin watch.
